The 1913 Biltmore Rose Catalog says, "Aline Sisley Rose is of unusual color, and as attractive as it is unusual. The color might be described as reddish perhaps toned with crimson and maroon, rich and splendid in hues that are most comforting. The fragrance is that of ripe fruit, and is lasting. The blossoms begin to appear in June, and continue until November. They are large, double and of exquisite form. The plant is of moderate growth, but unusually hardy, showing a marked tendency to withstand the effect of winter. One of the most tendency to withstand the effects of winter. One of the most delightful of the Tea Roses and highly commended as a general-purpose flower. One need not be a connoisseur in Roses to appreciate the good qualities of Aline Sisley Rose--from day to day during the blooming season one learns to look for and admire the rich colors of the flowers.
